CASE COMPETITION 2025 WINNERS!

Congratulations to SGUO's annual Case Competition winners (Groups 3 and 5) and all of our participants! We had multiple amazing groups create a comprehensive solution to global public health issues with the assistance of UCLA faculty and SGUO board members in creating a presentation demonstrating the biological and sociological components of the topic.

This year's topics were Antibiotic Resistance, Its Implications, and Solutions, and Addressing the Unhoused Population as a Public Health Crisis

SGUO would like to express our deepest thanks to UCLA ISG professors Dr. Michelle Rensel, Dr. Michael Scroggins, and Dr. Patrick Allard for their guidance as faculty advisors. This competition would not have been possible without their support.
